Romance Of q rrs,ty irish Girl.

A Toledo (Ohio) special says: Several
months ago pretty aud petite Irish girl
named Annie O'Connor was employed as
chambermald at n third-rate hotel In this
city. One day letter came to her from an
OLD English general, in which the girl was
informed that the generals sou, her father,
together with his wife and children, had
been lost while crossing the English Chan.
mel. The sad event had moved the old
gentleman to forgive bis high'born sou,
who bad eloped with q peasant girl, and
lived In poverty for many years. The
General. who Is possessed OF vast estates
instituted search for the daughter,
who had emigrated TO America, and, finding
her, asked her to return to England and
comfort him In bis declining years.
strangely enough the girl, remembering
her parents wrongs, refused to go and
never answered the letter. The affair at the
time was widely published, and as a result
the fair Annie was deluged with offers OF
marriage from ali parts OF the country. To
all but one she turned deaf ear. This was
missiye that came from John 0'Keefe, o!

correspondence ensued. Ten days ago the

A Difficult Undertaking,

The Providence Journal is making great
efforts 10 reform the Republican party OF
Rhode Island. We wish it success, but
fear it has a tough job before 1t. About
the only way to accomplish its object would
be to treat the party as the negro did bis
dog-that IL, cut its tail of close up be-
hind the ears. How deep.seated and
chronic political corruption ia IN the little
5x0 State may be judged from the follow
ing from the Boston Herald:
"Rhode Island began the practice on the
part OF politicians OF buying office with
money. certainly In New England, IL not
in the whole country. She has not been
alone IN 1t, by any means, OF late years,
but she has pretty consistently maintained
her early reputation much oil the time.
This ambition to he something better than
q pocket borough is encouraging"
Nevertheless, as above intimated. we
give our friend the journal our moral
support, aud will with pleasure hold its
bonnet during the fight.

The burning OF the house OF the c0lored
man John Wise, near here, Tuesday night,
aIleady reported in the Dispatch. was
very sad loss 10 the occupant. He LOST
everything he had In the house. Wise l.
a wIdoWer, and has number OF small
children, whom he managed to save from
the flames by throwing them all into
small bed and pulling Il out OF the burn
Iug building. A high wind was blowing
al the time, and it was learfully cold Tue
house was owned by George W. Mason,
Esq.,, OF this county, aud was uninsured.
Much sympathy Is felt for Wise, and sub
scriplion has been started here 10 aid him
out OF bis troubles.
A rather amusing story comes from Cat
tail Neck, some miles above here, on the bay
side, where we'll known Baptist minister
was recently invited TO marry n couple.
The night was intensely cold and very
stormy, and The minister had hard time
10 End the house where the ceremony was
10 take place. The marriage took place and
the guests were ready to sit down al the
supper-table when female member Of the
household was suddenly taken sick. and
the supper had to be adjourned to q neigh
boring house. As the minister was the only
mau in the crowd who had horse and
buggy he was urged to 60 for the
doctor, who lived several miles away,
and who proved 10 be woman.
After q rather perilous and disagreeable
journey the doctor was found and con-
ypyed 10 the house, and the preacher pro.
